Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

This isn't going to be a profoundly-deep update for anyone who may be wanting them, but I've been doing a few updates on the ol' blog for things that needed some attention. Despite this blog getting close to the 6650-article mark, today will have no talk about the future of this site or what I may be planning to do. To be completely honest, I really haven't given it much thought, but I was clicking through a few of the menu options and I noticed that there were things that needed updating. Tha...

Everything was looking good for the Montreal Canadiens as they started the season. They had their star players under contract and willing to put in the effort to win games, they had a revamped blueline with all sorts of talents on it, and their goaltending was solid while being underrated. Head coach Martin St. Louis even smiled a few times during the preseason, but, all jokes aside, it seemed like the Canadiens had all their weapons armed and ready to go as they hunted down a playoff spot thi...

On October 28th in 2010, Dallas Stars forward Brad Richards fired a blistering center ice slapshot over Los Angeles Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick and through the glass with three minutes remaining in the final frame. The Kings topped the Stars that night 5-2 before the then-smallest crowd in Dallas Stars history, announced as 11,306 but closer to 5,000, owing in part to fans staying home to
